That happened to a guy my daughters went to school with. He got a scholarship
to play football at the University of Pittsburgh, didn't matter his grades were
horrible in high school and he got a very low score on his SATs, but he was
very good at playing football in college. He made it to the pros and after his
first year of playing, not as good, we never heard anymore about him.

It wouldn't help the numbers if you get a reputation for doing shoddy work
though.
